Cardi B Cleared: Court Dismisses Assault Allegations Against Superstar Rapper

In a significant legal triumph, music sensation Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, has officially been cleared of assault allegations that have shadowed her for years. A judge recently dismissed the claims, finding a lack of credible evidence to support the accusations made against the Grammy-winning artist.

The lawsuit, filed by security guard Emani Ellis, stemmed from an incident that occurred in 2018 at a strip club in Atlanta.

Ellis alleged that she was assaulted by Cardi B's bodyguards. While the lawsuit named Cardi B directly, the "WAP" rapper consistently denied any personal involvement in the physical altercation.

Cardi B's legal team maintained that their client's actions were limited to throwing a drink at an individual she believed was filming her without her consent.

This distinction proved crucial in the court's proceedings. The judicial ruling ultimately concluded that the plaintiff, Emani Ellis, failed to provide sufficient credible evidence to substantiate the assault and battery claims against the superstar.

Cardi B's attorney, Lisa Moore, confirmed the favorable outcome, stating to E! News, "On January 31, 2024, the Judge in the Fulton County, Georgia, Assault & Battery lawsuit against Cardi B (Belcalis Almánzar) granted her Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the suit in its entirety.

The Judge found there was no evidence that Cardi B personally engaged in any assault or battery of the plaintiff." This clear statement underscores the complete exoneration of the artist.

This isn't the first time Cardi B has emerged victorious from a courtroom battle. In 2022, she secured a major win in a defamation case against YouTuber Tasha K, further cementing her track record of successfully navigating legal challenges.

These victories highlight her resilience and the effectiveness of her legal counsel.

The dismissal of these long-standing assault allegations allows Cardi B to fully focus on her thriving music career and other ventures, free from the burden of this particular legal dispute. Her fans and the industry alike can now celebrate this definitive end to the protracted legal saga.
